It is not clear that Chandler will miss the entire national team schedule this summer as the initial reports indicated that he will be out for three to four weeks. For the US team, it now leaves question marks as to who will backup Steve Cherundolo at right back.

Chandler first began playing for the US national team in 2011 under former head coach Bob Bradley but has missed long stretches stemming from an unwillingness to commit to the US team. This past February, he was formally cap tied after starting a World Cup qualifier against Honduras.
